夜雨寄北——李商隱

夜雨寄北

李商隱

君問歸期未有期， 巴山夜雨漲秋池。

何當共剪西窗燭， 卻話巴山夜雨時。

NOTE ON A RAINY NIGHT TO A FRIEND IN THE NORTH

Li Shangyin

You ask me when I am coming. I do not know.

I dream of your mountains and autumn pools brimming all night with the rain.

Oh, when shall we be trimming wicks again, together in your western window?

When shall I be hearing your voice again, all night in the rain?
